    You read very well and quickly. I think maybe you are trying to go too fast and that you could benefit from reading more slowly and carefully. Many native speaker don't speak that quickly. But well done in any case.

    Michacl I think you did an excellent job. You had great fluctuation in your voice and read the passage with flare. I would say slow down a little and form the words a little tighter. But really really an excellent job. You should be very happy with yourself. Be Well Jess
